This invention relates to a non-slip overshoe, the general object of theinvention being to provide an overshoe which may be quickly and easilyplaced on an ordinary 5 shoe or boot when playing golf, hunting, walkingon slippery surfaces, etc., so that it is not necessary to change shoes.The invention also enables one to quickly remove the overshoes afterplaying golf, for instance, so that one can enter a clubhouse withoutchanging shoes.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, referones will behad to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote likeorcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a side view showing an overshoe on an ordinary shoe.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the overshoe shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of F igure 2.

Figure 4 is a side view of a modified form of overshoe Figure 5 is aplan view of the shoe shown in Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a side view of a further modification.

5 Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the numeral 1 indicates a metal halfsole which is adapted to extend to the heel of an ordinary shoe A, thishalf sole having a flange 2 around its to-e portion to which is fasteneda toe receiving part 3 of canvas, leather or the like. The toe part of1118 half sole is of solid construction, but the rear part is composedof two strips 4 and a cross piece 5 which is connected with the rearends of the pieces 4. The ends of the cross piece are turned up, as at6. Buckles 7 and 8 are fastened to one bent-up end and straps 9 and 10are connected with the other bent-up end. The strap 9 is adapted toextend across the instep of a shoe or boot and be fastened to the buckle8, as

shown in Figure 1, while the strap 10 is adapted to extend around theheel part of the shoe and be fastened to the buckle 7. This strap 10 isshaped to conform to the rear part of the shoe, as shown in Figure 1.Spikes 11 are carried by the half sole 1 and the pieces 4, as shown inFigures 1, 2 and 3.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the overshoe is firmly held tothe regular shoe or and 5, the sole 1 of the overshoe is of full lengthand has a heel pad 12 at its rear end and a heel receiving part 13extends upwardly from the rear end to receiv the heel of the shoe orboot. A strap 14 is connected with this heel part 13 and a strap 15 isconnected with the instep part of the sole 1. Of course, this form isalso provided with the toe part 3'.

In the modification shown in Figure 6, the sole 1 is a half sole and hasattached to its rear end the instep strap 15 and the strap 13' whichpasses around the heel of the shoe or bopt and is connect d with partsof the strap 15 It is thought from the foregoing description that theadvantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. An overshoe for golf players comprising a solesection, a toe formed on the forward end of the sole section, a crosspiece spaced inwardly from th rear portion of the sole section and rigidtherewith for abutment with a heel of a shoe, upturned ends formed onsaid cross piece, an adjustable heel strap conmect'ed 'with saidupturned ends, and an I adjustable securing strap connected with saidends and adapted to bridge the arch of the shoe.
